    what about the timeline? were the two letters written around the same period or years apart from each other?

  2. I think this is a bold article, from an Mumbai based writer. Just proposing such a question about the nation’s founding father is a bit of blasphemy. The writer is bold and bold makes for interesting reading.

    But, I have found the noticing of sexuality in handwriting to be accurate when the y’s are extremely large… and extremely triangular… and Mr. Ghandi’s are not in that category of extra-ordinarily. Furthermore, even if there were indicators of curiosity… which I am not saying there is, I don’t think evidence supports it, it doesn’t mean people always act on their impulses.

    And, as far as the photo near my bed comment… that is a sacred space for meditation and prayer in side a busy ashram. I have seen a photo of Jesus and Buddha next to the bed of a guru I once meditated with in Bangalore. So, that sentence is very much out of context.

    Leave Mr. Gandhi alone, his memory should be left untarnished with these silly questions.

    I agree. He is our nation’s father and some respect for him is very much appreciated.
